The University of Chicago is so f$*$ing awesome

"You will find that we expect members of our community to be engaged in rigorous debate, discussion and even disagreement. At times this may challenge you and even cause discomfort.

"Our commitment to academic freedom means that we do not support so-called 'trigger warnings,' we do not cancel invited speakers because their topics might prove controversial, and we do not condone the creation of intellectual 'safe spaces' where individuals can retreat from ideas and perspectives at odds with their own.

"See you in September!"

Why the U. of Chicago is the University of Common Sense

 

Take it to the running trigger warnings thread, you special snowflake!

 

Hope Solo would still be prowling the net were she wearing the maroon and white instead of the red, white and blue.

 

Would calling this thread a DB be considered micro aggressive with you kids?

 

They keep puttin' these out, I'm gonna keep postin' 'em.

University of Chicago: 'Safe spaces'? We don't need no stinkin' 'safe spaces'!

 

You have to love Salon:

 

Oops. Mods, can you combine the threads?

 

NO, you DBed! OWN IT SNOWFLAKE!!!

 

She should speak there.

 

I had seen that BigPern criticized the letter on the other thread.

I needed a safe space.
